Overview

The Mersen ESK10 (SKU: ESK10) is a Class C High Rupturing Capacity (HRC) fuse designed for short-circuit protection in industrial applications. It operates at 600VAC with a 10A current rating, providing reliable performance in high-fault current scenarios. This fuse features British standard (BS88) dimensions, ensuring compatibility as a direct replacement for older British and HRCII-C fuses in existing installations. It is important to note that Class C fuses are not interchangeable with other North American fuse types, such as Class J, L, or RK5, due to differences in performance characteristics and standards compliance. The ESK10 has a robust ceramic body and bolt-in mounting for secure installation in electrical panels or motor controllers. Its primary application is for short-circuit protection in motor controllers, where overload protection is handled by a separate overload relay, ensuring comprehensive system safety. The fuse offers an interrupting rating of 200kA AC, making it suitable for high-fault current environments. Mersen's ESK series fuses are CSA Certified to HRCII-MISC standards under IEC 269-2-1, confirming compliance with international safety and performance requirements. Additionally, the ESK10 is manufactured in the US, supporting domestic production and supply chain reliability.
